Prior to coming to the Bar, Jonathan gained joint honours in Chemistry and Law at the University of Bristol. He then undertook an LL.M (Distinction) at Georgetown University in Washington DC focusing on US Intellectual Property, Antitrust and Private International Law. During his studies Jonathan was awarded the highest overall mark in Law, as well as prizes for finishing first in Intellectual Property, Private International Law, Advanced Contract and Tort.

After successfully passing the New York Bar exam in 2007 he worked for 2 years as a US Attorney at the US firm Mayer Brown. Whilst there he worked in the Intellectual Property group and spent time seconded to Rentokil Initial PLC and Sega (Europe) Ltd. Whilst on secondment in-house he was exposed to a wide range of general commercial and intellectual property law matters.

Shortly after accepting tenancy at Hogarth, Jonathan spent 5 months with Powell Gilbert LLP where he worked on a number of cases, but primarily on the Apple v HTC smartphone litigation.

Due to his dual US/UK qualification, Jonathan has a significant cross-border practice in matters where there is an overlap between US and UK law. He also specialises in jurisdiction and conflict of laws matters relating to IP. Jonathan has acted as one of the barristers representing the claimants in the phone-hacking litigation against the News of the World and the Mirror Group.
